How can I use ChatGPT to help improve my presentations?
ChatGPT is the world's most popular AI tool, and customers use it for everything from meal planning and tutoring to creating business strategies and marketing plans.
Given its wide range of abilities, it is also an incredible tool for helping people make better presentations. It can help come up with presentation ideas, it can help coach you on improving your presentations, and it can even help you do things like convert Word docs to PowerPoint.
Although ChatGPT is a powerful tool, its primary interface is a text-based chat window, so one limitation to using ChatGPT to create presentations is you will likely only use ChatGPT to create a presentation outline and then another AI tool like Plus AI to generate the slides themselves.
How to write an effective AI prompt
To get the most out of your AI tools, you need to learn a little bit about how they work. AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Bard work by taking your inputs and using them to create a response based on large amounts of "training data" (basically all of the text on the internet).
In order to help match your inputs to the best "outputs," you can write prompts that guide the AI and help it understand your request. Here are some tips for how to do that:
- Be clear and concise: Use simple language and avoid ambiguous requests.
- Provide context: Give the AI background information on who/what/why is creating the content.
- Specify the output format: If you want the AI to generate an outline, ask for an outline. If you want a slide title, bullet points, and speaker notes, ask for that specifically.
- Use examples: If you want the AI to write in a specific style or output in a specific format, provide examples of what you mean.
- Iterate and practice: If you don't get what you want on the first try, just try again, it's fast! The best way to continue getting better at prompting is to experiment and try lots of prompts.
If you are using a tool like Plus AI that is specifically built to create presentations, here are some additional tips to help you generate great results. Make sure to always include:
- The type of presentation (e.g., pitch deck, board deck, webinar, book report)
- Presentation topic (as much detail as you can provide on the topic)
- Audience (who is going to be reading the presentation)
- Specific content (any specific slides or materials to make sure to include in the presentation)
As you continue to practice using ChatGPT and other AI tools, you'll become better and better at writing AI prompts. Now, here are more examples and inspiration prompts to help you create amazing presentations.
